[becky3086]

Two bators going. I couldn't tell you how many in each, they are staggered hatches and I just keep adding. Almost all of the eggs are from my own birds except 4 that are still in there that are serama eggs from the Nov. swap. Of my eggs there are:
Blue/splash Polish
cochin
Black Japanese
Houdan
Welsummer
Buff Laced Polish--so far still unfertile
and Project eggs from three different projects

This is what just popped out in my incubator! A spangled OEGB! The remaining eggs are barred and one or two more spangled.

I've got 2 tiny little cockatiel eggs (happen to incubate parrot eggs quite frequently) and also cuckoo marans.

I don't generally incubate a whole lot of eggs, as mostly I do so for farmers or anyone who does not have an incubator (just don't have space). As I'm getting into parrot breeding and have experienced a lot of problems with parent-hatched babies (won't even go on the tangent involved with that), I will be incubating more and more parrot eggs, after at least giving the parents a try.

Just some examples of what can go wrong in the parrot nest:
- Parrots don't like bedding so eggs often get cracked
- Some parents will eat/destroy/roll their eggs out of the nest box
- Babies are often overfed and some become ill because of "sour crop"
- Parents feed only the loudest chicks so often times the small ones die
Etc etc.

So yes, I thought I'd give a brief little explanation.
